Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers breathtaking views from the balcony overlooking the harbour. The rooms are lovely with a spectacular balcony view, but the dining experience could be improved. Great location by the canal with a good cycle route nearby. Friendly staff and clean rooms. Wi-Fi is not included in the price.
The hotel offers stunning rooms with great views over the inlet for £230 including breakfast. The balcony looking out to the Scottish hills adds a special touch. However, the high price may not fit everyone's budget.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were stunning, especially with the balcony that offered a superb terrace overlooking the lock. The service was top-notch, and the location by the harbor was breathtaking. The dining experience was delightful with freshly baked bread. However, I wish there were more facilities available on-site.
